Yep they did.......and if the breathers were blocked.....From memory , even the caps had small breather holes from which gas would escape - doesn't bear thinking about

It would more properly be dealt with by giving the customer a receipt for their old battery , free environmentally friendly disposal ( much as you do when you get tyres fitted , although there is a charge , despite tyres also having a residual scrap value ) .
The presumption being if no receipt issued the customer retained the battery .

I remember my pal have one of the inboard front brake discs explode ( well shatter ) on his Alfasud .Batteries do explode. It happened to me in an Alfa Sud in 1981... it went off with a bang when I started the car. On lifting the bonnet, only the lower half of the battery housing was in place, the top missing completely, and the engine bay was full of plastic bits and corrosive acid. A new battery sorted it, no other damage, though the paintwork in the engine bay and the inside of the bonnet was never the same again.

IIRC Jaguar did that too ...Yes, the discs and calipers were right on the transmission of the flat-4 boxer engine, to reduce unsprung weight. Alfa have done this before, on the Alfetta and other cars, where the rear discs were adjacent to the diff, as opposed to being near the wheel.
Thank you I did not knows thatYou don’t have to ask to keep the old battery : IT IS ALREADY YOUR PROPERTY .
And how dare they invoice you for something that is already yours ! It isn’t theirs to take away - the same applies to any parts replaced on your car , by a workshop or elsewhere - any items removed from your car are your property .
